Heather
I love yoga. I love making it real and accessible for everybody, and try to do so in my most authentic voice. Which means an occasional f-bomb, mixing up my right and left feet, some questionable playlist choices, and some shared tears when I’m feeling most vulnerable. I am a fierce advocate for body image positivity, health at every size, and I love nurturing my students with a down-to-earth class: exploring breath, awareness, movement and self-compassion. I love the smell of lavender, and if you come to class, I might offer you a drop for a blissed-out savasana. I like working with students from all walks of life, especially those who otherwise have felt unsure, unseen or shut out in previous yoga and movement experiences, because I was that yogi! I am also very passionate about working with yoga teachers on how to make classes accessible, and through my teacher training offerings, I encourage the teaching community to truly consider what it means to offer “yoga for EVERY body.””
Heather instructs the following:
- Chair Yoga
- Better Backs Against the Wall
- Slow Flow
- $5 Yoga
This class uses a chair as both a prop and for seated versions of familiar poses. Chair Yoga helps to increase flexibility and range of motion, and improve strength and coordination. Chair Yoga is great for everyone, and offers additional support for those managing an injury, struggling with balance, or have difficulty getting up and down from the floor. 55 minutes
This 55 minute Better Backs class uses the wall as a prop to open up the body as well as to help stabilize.
Looking for a less intense version of vinyasa? In this class you will experience vinyasa flows connecting breath to movement followed with better back restorative postures. 60 min. class
